    Facing the carpet-like suppression by the elite Qinghe army, the rogue bandits and rebels under various banners were wiped out in just one month.

    The Qinghe Army quickly stabilized the entire territory of Yunxi Mansion, and the newly established Yunxi Government Affairs Office and the three counties under its jurisdiction were also operating efficiently.

    The officials of the Qinghe Army were all scholars absorbed during their transition to the war. At that time, Chen Ziang set up a Gentleman Camp as the army's staff team.

    Now directly enrich the scholars in Junziying to the institutions at all levels in Yunxi Prefecture and the three counties, avoiding the appointment of former officials.

    Most of the scholars in these gentlemen's camps were underappreciated, and they voted for the Qinghe Army because they were disappointed with the Far Eastern Dynasty.

    Now Chen Ziang entrusts them with important tasks, letting them serve as officials at all levels and directly govern the people.

    Chen Ziang provided them with a platform to display their ambitions. While they were grateful, they were also full of energy.

    Because the young officials at all levels were directly appointed by Chen Ziang, they still don't have the bad habits of redundant and corrupt officials in the dynasty, and they have thoroughly implemented the orders issued by Chen Ziang.

    Thanks to the efforts of these young officials, Chen Ziang and his Qinghe Army quickly won the support and support of the people in Yunxi Mansion.

    "After re-registering the population of each village and town, as of now, there are now a total of 53,100 households in the three counties of Yunxi Prefecture, with a population of 272,200."

    ? After more than a month of re-registering and re-registering the population living in Yunxi Prefecture, at the military and political meeting held, the Chief of Political Affairs Qin An reported to Chen Ziang.

    "There are more than 200,000 people in the three counties in Yunxi Prefecture?"

    After hearing the report from the Chief of Political Affairs Qin An, Chen Ziang couldn't help but frowned. There must be too few of them.

    "General, according to the comparison of the official registers of Yunxi Mansion by the imperial court, there used to be more than 800,000 people in Yunxi Mansion. However, in recent years, famines and military chaos have caused a large number of population losses, so the only remaining population is less than 300,000 people.  It's all over." Qin An couldn't help but sighed.

    In this era of war and chaos, the people have been struggling in dire straits, and this is the case in any corner of Yunxi Mansion, let alone those places of the Fourth World War.

    "In addition to the more than 270,000 people who have lived in Yunxi Mansion for generations, we have also conducted some statistics on the refugees who entered Yunxi Mansion. There are about 60,000 people, and they are now distributed in eleven gathering points.  The government will set up porridge sheds for relief."

    "There are more than 60,000 people eating, and the daily food consumption is not a small amount. These refugees must find a solution as soon as possible, either expel them, or distribute their land."

    Yuan Jie, deputy head of the army, is now in charge of military supply and logistics. Naturally, he knows that their Qinghe army is facing a lot of food pressure, so he has to mention it.

    "Most of these refugees are young and strong. If they are incited by someone with a heart, they will easily get into trouble. In the past few days, our cavalry patrol team has dealt with several cases of refugees stealing local people's livestock."

    Fatty Lu, head of the Ninth Banner of the Cavalry, also echoed his remarks, because if the refugees gather together for a long time, problems will arise.

    "General, now our Qinghe army still has more than 30,000 mu of public land, should we directly distribute some of it to the refugees for cultivation?" Qin An, chief of government affairs, suggested.

    In Qin An's view, these refugees are precious resources. Most of them are strong laborers. Once there is a war, they are still good soldiers. It would be a pity to expel them.

    "Our public land is mainly cultivated by the disabled brothers who left the army and their families. If it is distributed to the refugees, the brothers will have no land to cultivate in the future."

    As soon as Qin An's words fell, Zhou Ba, the head of the First Banner of the Infantry, couldn't help but refuted.

    In the eyes of these generals of the Qinghe Army, Chen Ziang demarcated the public land, which was for the benefit of the Qinghe Army troops, and Qin An couldn't lose it.

    "But if they are not allowed to cultivate the public land, there will be trouble sooner or later when so many refugees gather together." Qin An continued.

    Zhou Ba said murderously: "What happened? As long as they dare to make the slightest change, the knife in my hand is not for nothing!"

    "Captain Zhou Qi, if we want to gain a foothold in Yunxi Mansion, we can't just fight and kill" Qin An reminded.

    "If it weren't for us fighting and killing, you would be able to sit safely in Yunxi Prefecture? Maybe you would still be sleeping in the wilderness."

    Zhou Ba raised his neck unceremoniously, let out a cold snort from his nostrils, and was very dissatisfied with Qin An.

     "Speak a few words, all of you, this is a military and political meeting, and you are not here to quarrel, if you want to quarrel, go back and quarrel¡ª"

    Chen Ziang couldn't help knocking on the table when he heard that the tone of gunpowder in the two people's voices was getting stronger and stronger.

    Qin An was also speechless to Zhou Ba, a big boss who knew how to charge forward, and Zhou Ba didn't like Qin An, so he even paid attention to the public land.

    "The public land is for the brothers, so it cannot be moved."

    Now Chen Ziang needs to rely on the Qinghe Army, because only the brothers of the Qinghe Army can have no worries, they can go all out to fight, defeat the enemy, and defend this place.

    Moreover, if Chen Ziang distributed the public land to the refugees, the brothers of the Qinghe army would have some ideas in their hearts. Once the army's morale is dispersed, it will be difficult to gather together.

    Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Chen Zi'ang refuted Qin An's suggestion of using public land to resettle refugees, because he could not chill the hearts of his brothers who followed him through life and death.

    "General, if you don't use the public land to house refugees, you can't feed them with food all the time, right?"

    Seeing that Chen Ziang favored the army, Qin An rejected his suggestion. He also felt that Chen Ziang's matter was not leveled and did not solve the actual problem.

    "It's not an option to feed them all the time with porridge, and our food pressure is also very high."

    "I decided to use work as relief to solve their food problem."

    "Relief with work?"

    Hearing the new term that came out of Chen Ziang's mouth, everyone was stupefied.

    Qin Angong cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me for my stupidity, but I would like to ask the general to clarify, what does this work-for-relief mean?"

    "Now we have opened a lot of commercial firms in Yunxi Prefecture, and they all need the help of assistants. Some refugees can work for the commercial firms, not only for food, but also for wages."

    Qin An reminded: "General, now we only have more than 30 commercial firms in Yunxi Mansion, but there are more than 60,000 refugees."

    "What I just said is just one aspect. We can also build canals and roads."

    "I inspected various places and found that many fertile irrigation canals have been in disrepair for a long time, without water, relying on the sky for food, can food grow well? Of course not, so the government has to organize people to repair irrigation canals."

    "Besides, the roads from Yunxi Prefecture to Leyuan, Anling and Dianhe counties are full of potholes, and walking is very difficult, let alone the passage of horse-drawn carriages, which greatly affects our communication in various counties."

    "So I suggest that the government government take the lead to set up a road construction team, but the government cannot just pay for it. We are also short of money now."

    "Those rich men also appealed to pay for it. After the road is repaired, their caravans can pass through, and the toll can be reduced or exempted."

    "What if they don't have a caravan?"

    "The tolls collected after that can be directly distributed to them according to the amount of investment."

    "In this way, the dead money stored in the cellars of the gentry and rich men will become living money, and we can also solve the problems of work and food for the refugees. Once the road is repaired, everything will be much more convenient." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel  .com
